??Oh! You??re for gun control! So am I! I think it??s extremely important for gun owners to know how to control their weapons. ??
So get the police to regulate who can own a gun.

Which includes gun ownership and healthcare. Add to that teaching, retirement, care for the elderly, etc.

??How much of your paycheck should go to people in need?? ??50%? Great! So you would have no problem writing a check for your favorite charity for half your wages on payday!?
Instead of writing a check to an insurance company, you could give half as much to the Government to cover everyone. And lower other insurance bills.

??I??ll give you government control of the roads, you give me deregulation of the free market system and no involvement in foreign wars.?
Would the private sector stand for fewer wars?

??How much should a teacher make? A lunch lady? A janitor? How about an administrator? How about a member of the Board of Education??
Show them how much teachers pay in the private section cost and how much private education costs parents.

Your theory works great for the 0.05%. Even the 1% are having problems keeping up. Why do you think roads are better run by the Government. And hospitals, schools, pensions, care for the sick and infirm is best in the hands of the private sector?

Whatever is the truth, the money big business spends to buy politicians their seats. You can bet you will get the Government they want you to have.
